I let DG know, he said he'd get it fixed. :)

Re: Argyle's GOTY 2023 Thread!

Let me take a mintue to discuss genres. Crim has touched on this before - I know he *hates* the term "Metroidvania". I don't like it either. I'm also not a fan of "souls-like" or "rouge-like/lite" - but that's a discussion for later. Not only do I not like the term Metr...

Re: Argyle's GOTY 2023 Thread!

It's hard from me to know what to think about Starfield, given the general reception. On the one hand, I generally love Bethesda's open-world rpgs. On the other, I can see the scope being a detriment rather than a positive, as you and many others have touched on. I'll pick it up one day cheap...som...

Re: Argyle's GOTY 2023 Thread!

15. Nuclear Blaze Nuclear-Blaze-gameplay.jpg What first put this game on my radar was that I heard it was developed by the same devs who made Dead Cells, which I loved. That’s partially true - it’s made by ONE OF the devs who worked on that game, not the entire team. Still, it ended up being a real...

Re: 2024 Movie Discussion Thread

I found The Shining to be very slow - I thought the recent Doctor Sleep sequel was much better. And hey, even Stephen King didn't like The Shining movie. :P Finished watching 3:10 To Yuma this morning. I don't watch many westerns, and I almost never watch the old ones (my dad loves those, but they'r...

Re: Argyle's GOTY 2023 Thread!

I think you will probably enjoy Death Stranding even more than I did, since you probably have the patience to see it through to the end. And I'm also behind on my Kojima games - I need to play MGS3 & 5. Here's hoping the remake of 3 holds up. 18. McPixel 3 mcpixel3_check.jpg The best way to desc...

Argyle's GOTY 2023 Thread!

Since 2023 was such a banger year for games for me I decided to be a bit more thorough this year. I’ve ranked all of the games I either completed or played enough of to feel comfortable ranking them. But first, I want to go over the games I dropped for one reason or another. Some of these I’ll defin...

Re: 2024 Movie Discussion Thread

I named it like that just so we can refresh with a new thread next year - kinda like we do the pickups thread. Discuss anything you're watching - what I'm watching most often than not came out years before. I'm perpetually behind on movies. :P Kubrick is a director I've never been able to get into. ...

I thought you were going to share your yearly rankings/reviews as well argyle. Life crunching your nads? :P Hope you get around to it. That's an excellent way to put it. January is the Monday of the year. I have the list, just gotta flesh out some thoughts - gonna try to do that this week. :) I jus...
